OUTSTANDING VISUAL EFFECTS IN A VISUAL EFFECTS-DRIVEN FEATURE MOTION PICTURE- Captain America: The First Avenger- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides- Rise of the Planet of the Apes- Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Not all the films in contention should be in there. Some are they mostly cuz of how short they fall of their originals. I'm not talking of Chip-wrecked. That one was just a disaster and I see many more coming. Hangover II is what I'm thinking.

My worst: Green Lantern, Twilight (even though I've not seen it), The Smurfs (and it made so much money!),

In a year crowded with some of the most anticipated movies in years (The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, The Avengers, and The Amazing Spider-Man, to name just a few), The Dark Knight Rises might be the most anticipated of them all. The third and final installment in Inception director Christopher Nolan’s trilogy of Bat-flicks — which will once again star Christian Bale as the caped crusader and introduce Thomas Hardy as the brilliant, brutish terrorist Bane and Anne Hathaway as the purrrrfectly mercurial Selina Kyle — will swing into theaters on July 20, four years after The Dark Knight ignited a cultural sensation, grossed $533 million, and earned Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar. The new issue of Entertainment Weekly – our annual Forecast issue, which previews the pop culture year looming ahead — goes to the Rises set and offers some insight into how Team Nolan hopes to match their previous success. “I can tell you the truth because I’m done with it: I felt immense pressure,” Christian Bale tells EW. “And I think it’s a good pressure, because you owe it to the films — and the people’s expectations — to make great work.”

- If you had trouble understanding Bane in The Dark Knight Rises prologue playing in front of Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol (in IMAX), Christopher Nolan had this to say when asked by Entertainment Weekly:

"I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him."

Jonathan Nolan added the following when speaking to CraveOnline:

"I gotta tell you, I think what Tom Hardy's doing with the role is spectacular. I have the benefit of seeing a little bit more than the audience has seen at this point. It's pretty spectacular."
